October 2024

•  Do you ever find yourself thinking, if I eat that banana, I won't have to make banana bread?
• I know one other person who's taking vacation time after the election just in case of dire outcome resulting in stress and sorrow. Is this widespread?
• Why have Krispy Klondike Bars become so stingy with the krispies?
• The problem with investing in a nice pin or brooch (don't ask me what the difference is) is that if you're dressed up enough to be wearing special jewelry, you don't want a hole on the nice shirt/blouse/dress/sweater that you're wearing. Is the solution to convert all pins to pendants? It can't be done just by hanging a pin from a chain. It doesn't hang right.
• (in spite of this, I have been unable to resist ordering some pretty pins from Poshmark.)
• We often see birds in rhododendron growing outside the kitchen window. This morning I wondered at what a tiny bird was that? It was a mouse.
• More people should know that they can use the net bags that wrap grocery-store produce as really good scrubbies for dishes and bathtubs. Just take the empty onion/orange/whatever bag and scrunch it up and knot it a few times.
